EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare moment in history - a Pygmy Hippopotamus at London Zoo in 1927. The image, taken by Frederick William Bond, showcases the unique beauty of this small yet magnificent creature. Standing tall with its full length on display, the pygmy hippopotamus exudes an air of grace and mystery. Its side view allows us to appreciate every detail of its distinctive features - from its sturdy hooves to its thick hide. This photograph serves as a testament to the diversity of nature's creations. The historical significance of this image cannot be understated. It offers us a glimpse into a time when these enchanting creatures were still relatively unknown to the world. As one of only two species within the hippopotamidae family, the pygmy hippopotamus holds great importance for zoologists and animal enthusiasts alike. Frederick William Bond's skillful photography brings out the essence of this remarkable creature, capturing both its physicality and spirit. The monochromatic tones lend an air of nostalgia and timelessness to the image, reminding us that even decades later, it continues to captivate our imagination. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print from London Zoo's archives, we are reminded not only of our shared fascination with wildlife but also our responsibility towards their preservation. Let us cherish such glimpses into history as they inspire us to protect and conserve these precious beings for generations to come.
